The Paul Rhoads era will ultimately come to a disappointing close, but the now-former Iowa State head coach should be remembered for the highs during his tenure, as well as his enduring character.
In the upcoming days, weeks or months that Iowa State University spends searching for a new head coach, you're going to see and hear a lot of people who are overjoyed about the decision to pursue someone other than Paul Rhoads to lead the Cyclone football program. The past few years on the gridiron have been more frustrating than fun in Ames, leading fans to turn on a man who unquestionably loved his town, university and players.
